If you enjoy seeing the Atlanta Braves uniforms being adorned with a bright-yellow bag of concrete on the left-hand sleeve then I have some news that is relative to your interests. If you’re a fan who was hoping for another company’s logo to grace the sleeves (or if you’re a purist who doesn’t want to see any of that anywhere on the uniform) then you might want to be sitting down with this one.
Earlier today, the Braves announced via press release that the concrete bags aren’t going anywhere any time soon. The Braves and QUIKRETE are now locked into a partnership through the 2036 season. Here’s a quote from the press release:
QUIKRETE and the Braves have been partners for nine seasons dating back to 2017, spanning the club’s tenure at Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta. Over that time, the partnership has grown to include some of the most recognizable branding in Major League Baseball and a strong connection with fans throughout Braves Country.
The leading construction materials company will continue as the Official Jersey Patch Partner of the Atlanta Braves, remaining the first and only jersey patch partner in team history. The QUIKRETE logo patch appears on home and away Braves uniforms throughout the regular season and postseason, providing prominent national broadcast visibility as the team competes on baseball’s biggest stages.
I’d imagine that this also means that the QUIKRETE logo will remain in yellow on the outfield fences as well. In case you didn’t notice it (and really, why would most of y’all since I’m sure this isn’t exactly the outfield fence enthusiast group), the QUIKRETE logo is the only logo on the outfield walls that is in yellow instead of white, so there’s that. It’s clear that this is a partnership that both corporate entities value and now they’re set to be locked in together for the foreseeable future.
What do y’all think? Are you a fan of the yellow bag on the sleeves? Would you prefer a different sponsor? Would you prefer none at all?
